Claire Richards pulled the ultimate best friend move by sharing embarrassing photos of Rylan to Instagram (Picture: Getty Images/Instagram)
Claire Richards has shared some snaps of her best mate Rylan Clark caught in a bit of a pickle.
Like all friends, Claire and Rylan have plenty of snaps of each other, and generally we see the ones where they’re looking glamorous at photocalls or award shows.
But again, like all friends, there are some less flattering ones hidden away in each other’s phones, the types usually brought out to embarrass people by posting on their birthday.
Now Claire has gifted us with several such photos as she took to Instagram with an utterly bizarre series of images of Rylan trying and seemingly failing to take off his t-shirt – oh, and a photo of a nice dining room table and chairs.
Thankfully, she added some context.
Taking to Instagram, Claire explained she would start ‘documenting my kitchen/dining room renovation’ and as she was going through her phone deleting images that were ‘clogging up’ space, she found… well, Rylan.
In a series of images that really tell a story, Rylan can be seen chatting to Claire over FaceTime, before standing back and taking off his t-shirt.

Like, he really struggled (Picture: Claire Richards/ Instagram)
The problem is, he can’t quite do it, as the next seven – yes, seven – pictures show him trying to tug the shirt over his head where it has become wedged.
Rylan changes tactics throughout the photos, first using two hands to try and pull off the shirt which is now essentially acting as a blindfold, then leaning over as though gravity might help in his endeavour.
When that doesn’t work, Rylan again stands up straight, grasping at the shirt with both hands as he manages to get it about halfway up his face, appearing to be in stitches laughing at himself.

Claire tagged Rylan in the post along with a series of laughing emojis, adding: ‘Thanks for the content!’
Rylan himself commented on the post, arguing ‘that top was tight tbf,’ to which Claire replied: ‘That or your head is too big?’
And in a deliciously threatening responded, Rylan hit back: ‘OH HARK AT YOU GETTING MOUTHY don’t make me post your screenshots.’

Rylan and Claire have been friends for a decade, having become closes during their time in Big Brother in 2013.
While they clearly have fun mucking about together, the pair are there for each other in the hard times too, with Rylan heaping praise on the pop star in 2021 for helping him through his marriage breakdown.
The star, who split from husband Dan Neal in 2021, was on stage at the Attitude Awards when he paid tribute to his ‘big sister.’

He said: ‘For the past four months, probably for the toughest time in my life, she’s been there for me, and without her, I probably wouldn’t be giving this award out tonight.’
He’s probably not feeling as kindly towards her right now as thousands flock to her comments in stitches at Rylan’s wardrobe malfunction – but that’s what friends are for!
